Unfortunately Peter is stuck with some of the limits imposed on him by Pocket IE. Even ftxPBrowser is better able to do a couple of things, such as saving images with PHP encoded pages, because it works outside the confines of a PIE window. Microsoft seems deliberately to have crippled PIE.
I use NetFront for banking, a few other things, but generally prefer PIE because it's snappier and because I'm used to it. I'd miss the context menus of MultiIE too much if NetFront were my default browser. And anyway, when I tried using the default browser option in NetFront 3.1 it didn't work. A tapped link in an email would open the browser, then nothing would load. Maybe 3.2 will be better... if they ever launch it. Sure, Access announced it a couple of months ago or more, but does anyone have a copy?
I am curious about Minimo when/if it gets released for a CE-based PPC. Right now it's said to be testing out well on a Linux-running PPC, but the footprint is anything but 'minimo', something over 10MB I read somewhere. If it's even half the browser FireFox 1.0 is on a PC I'd be quite happy to use that, especially if it runs okay from a card. They've made a port of FireFox that'll run from a USB keychain drive, without a cache (to minimize disc-writes and thus extend flash drive lifespan), so running Minimo from SD or a file store shouldn't be so hard, right?

Are you saying that you use a browser that loads PHP pages and works with them interactively?
